'The Same Difference' is Death Metal act EMBRYO's first single extracted from the upcoming album 'A Step Beyond Divinity'.
We choose 'The Same Difference' as first single because it’s a typical Embryo song, it has all our trademarks and it’s a sort of 'bridge' between our previous album and the evolution we’re going through in the new one. The video has been directed by Salvatore Perrone (Fleshgod Apocalypse, DGM, Parkway Drive) who already worked with us for almost all our official videos. We gave him the song and the lyrics and he created this story about the 'obsession' of Leonardo for understanding the human body, a priority and an 'uncontrolled push' that led him to isolate himself and to ignore everything around him.
Death Metal act EMBRYO announces hot details about their new & fourth LP under the name of 'A Step Beyond Divinity', due out on October 27th (Spain) and November 24th worldwide. Cover artwork has been created by artist Seth Siro Anton Art Official(SepticFlesh) who created artworks for artists such as Kamelot, Moonspell, Soilwork, Exodus, Noctem, Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban, Job For A Cowboy, Decapitated, Vader etc.
Combining the most violent Death Metal with atmospheric arrangements Embryo defines their sound as technical but keeping the essence of the Old School.
In words of Embryo:
This is another step in our evolution. The new album has all the trademarks of Embryo sound: tight rhythms, decadent arrangements, death metal vocals, but introduces some new elements in the songwriting process that make it sound different from what we did so far. The lyrical concept changed too: we decided to focus on the figure of the genius Leonardo Da Vinci choosing some particular events in his life to turn on a spotlight on the man with all his weaknesses and neurosis, showing the frailty of the man opposed to the majesty of the artist. We are all extremely satisfied of the album and confident about its goodness; we keep on working on evolution.

BIOGRAPHY
After a couple of self-produced works and a first album ('Chaotic Age') Embryo found its sound and went to Fear Studio to record its second cd 'No God Slave' (2010) with producer Simone Mularoni. Salvatore Perrone directed 2 videos for the tracks 'No God Slave' and 'Flatterer Of Indifference'. This album has also received very good reviews (8/10 metallus.it, 10/10 truecultheavymetal.com, 6/7 metalnews.de….) and led the band to play new gigs in Switzerland, Germany and Italy and be part of Kung Fu Factory’s Supremacy MMA videogame soundtrack with 2 songs.
